Topic	Kevin Sorbo questions why California should pay slavery reperations.
Nemu 11/27/21 11:42:41 AM #59:	ZMythos posted... If you think slavery hasn't had a lasting impact on present day black Americans then you have a very, very poor understanding of how the world works. There is no particular quantifiable way to measure that impact on the modern day population, nor would it help to assuage any existing grievances (as much as money can even do that in the first place). If you want to argue for appropriating funds for general programs, I guess that is a valid argument, but Id say getting money into the hands of people who were directly affected by modern issues or at least their children is a much better effort. <cite>Nemu posted [p:960395159] in Kevin Sorb...
